McElhinney leads Lightning to 3-1 win over Hurricanes | |
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) Curtis McElhinney stopped 31 shots and picked up an assist to lead the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 3-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night. Mikhail Sergachev, Yanni Gourde and Barclay Goodrow all scored for Tampa Bay, which won three of the four consecutive meetings between the teams. "When you get into a series where you are playing a team four straight, you get pretty familiar with yourself," said McElhinney, who made his third start of the season. "There wasn't much room out there. I have to really hand it to our guys, I thought we really hung in there. That's a huge two points for everybody in that dressing room." MORE | |
